Book description
I just finished the audiobook of Terry Pratchett's Going Postal. What a ride.
It's the story of Moist von Lipwig. A con artist. A fraud. Faced with a simple choice. Be hanged. Or revive the defunct postal service of Ankh-Morpork.
He chooses the mail.
Pratchett's genius is in this setup. He takes a swindler and gives him a government job. The ultimate test. Can a dishonest man do an honest thing? The post office is a character itself. A dusty, cavernous tomb of undelivered letters. It's a brilliant satire. A commentary on progress. On the power of communication.
The narration is perfect. The dry wit. The timing. You hear the desperation in Moist's voice. The creeping hope. The supporting cast is vibrant. The evil chairman of the rival semaphore company. Adora Bell Dearheart. A woman who could stare down a dragon.
This isn't just fantasy. It's a lesson in redemption. In building something from nothing. Pratchett's prose is sharp. Clever. Full of heart. The audio format lets the jokes land. The rhythm of the language shines.
It's a book about second chances. About the sheer, stubborn power of an idea. The idea that a letter should get through. No matter what.
I found myself smiling. Often. Then genuinely moved. It's that kind of book. Smart. Funny. Deeply human.
A masterpiece.
